Toby Keith takes State Fair spotlight

There will be a party tonight at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand when Toby Keith takes the stage. Keith is one of the most popular touring acts in country music, and the star we've chosen for our Morning Edition music segment. For the second year in a row, he is No. 1 on Forbes' list of top country music money makers. It's estimated that Keith earned $65 million last year. The opening act for his State Fair show is his daughter, Krystal Keith.
